This episode can be summed up as "I Spit On Your Grave" meets NCIS. Sherilynn Fenn plays a woman who was attacked, left for dead, and buried. She was not dead, however, and emerged from her would-be grave claiming amnesia. The rest of the episode (almost) is about Gibbs & Company trying first to establish her identity while also searching for the culprit(s) who tried to kill her. Kate bonds with the woman to the extent her professional judgment seems clouded. They figure out who she is eventually, and that she worked for a German munitions company designing explosives along with testing them. And she was really good at it. The woman eventually catches up with the guy who tried to kill her and gets her revenge. Kate ended up looking bad in the aftermath. At the end of the episode my question was did the woman actually have traumatic amnesia as she claimed or did she have her revenge plotted out all along while using Kate et al as unwitting dupes? Sherilynn Fenn did what she could with a not-so-strong script. Once the episode got to the third act I had the end figured out. This is not an episode that merits repeat plays for me.
